Norfork police chief chases motorcyclist

Baxter County Deputy Billy Cox (left) and Norfork Police Chief Jim Griffin walk back up a trail in Norfork Friday after searching for a motorcyclist who eluded Griffin. Griffin said he saw a 48-year-old man he knew riding a silver street bike shortly before noon on AR Highway 5 South near Galatia Cemetery. Knowing Loosey's license was suspended, Griffin said he attempted to pull the man over, and a chase ensued, with speeds in excess of 90 miles per hour. The rider eventually went down a dirt trail too rough for Griffin to take his patrol car down. Griffin said he would later seek a warrant for the man's arrest on a fleeing charge.
